Australia is a country found in the continent of Oceania and its capital is Canberra. In 1829, it was claimed as British territory   after two hundred years of being explored by Europeans. It made a major contribution to the British during the two world wars. Since then, Australia has become an international competitive, advanced market economy with one of the fastest growing economies during the 1900s and it is listed as a MEDC. Located between the Indian Ocean and the  South Pacific Ocean, Australia is found near countries like New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and others. It has an area of 7,741,220 sq km and completely surrounded by water with the biggest coral reef in the world.

I N F O R M A T I O N **Population: 22,015,576** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Since Australia had one of the fastest growing economies in the 1900s, the population has been able to grow rapidly <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">because people are no longer afraid they'll have to live in poverty because since the country has a good <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">economy, there are many jobs available and people are not desperate because jobs are more stable.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Birth Rate: 12.28 births/1,000 population** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Because of Australia's great economy, people have started to study and become less ignorant. They have <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">stable, good paying jobs so they are now able to have kids with no concerns due to the amount <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">of money coming in and they now feel ready to have kids. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Death Rate: 6.94 deaths/1,000 population** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">The death rate in Australia is very low; economy has played a huge part on the education of people in Australia, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">making them more educated in a way that they now know that stealing and killing isn't good, and  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">a good life can be achieved if they work. People no longer have the necessity to kill others— causing less deaths. Also, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">because of the health care and life insurances they now have access to. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Net Migration Rate: 5.93 migrant(s)/1,000 population** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Since Australia's economy is really good, the people are welcoming and it is rich in nature and diversity, <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">it has attracted many people from all across the world to go live in and migrate to Australia. Australia has people from many countries from around the world residing there. The top 5 being English, Chinese, Indian, Kiwi (from New Zealand) and Italians. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Australia has the resources to not only sustain its own people, but migrators too; providing great opportunities for everyone.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Infant Mortality Rate: male: 4.87 deaths/1,000 live births | female: 4.21 deaths/1,000 live births | total: 4.55 deaths/1,000 live births** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">In Australia, since women are provided with a good health care, and right information on dos and don'ts during <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">pregnancy because of their good education, the infant mortality rate is very low. Meaning very few babies die. Also, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">good doctors and nurses are provided and take good take care of any kind of situation that might happen. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Population Growth Rate: 1.126%** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Applying every information we have on birth, death, migration, and infant mortality rate, we can conclude that the <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">reasons why Australia's population growth rate is such, is because of all the reasons written above in <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">all those rates. Being good education, good health care, etc. So the economy is growing quite fast.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Life Expectancy: male: 79.48 years | female: 84.45 years | total: 81.9 years** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">The life expectancy in Australia is pretty high. This is because people have less to worry about and have access to a <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">good health care and life insurance so they live longer and better lives. Also, elderly people have an advantage <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px;">over others and are given privileges so they don't have to make a huge effort. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">**Doubling Time: 62.2 years** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">In the next 62.2 years, in 2074, Australia's population will go from 22,015,576 to 44,031,152. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 38px;">P I C T U R E S <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Political Map of Australia <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Population Density Map <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Population Pyramid <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 38px;">B I B L I O G R A P H Y <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/as.html
